I called Stef, as soon as I left Emme off at school. I told her what happened with mum and Hunter and that I was going shopping. Stef, not one to pass up the opportunity to shop tells me she’s going to meet me. We went shopping for a lot longer than I usually do. I just couldn’t face the thought of seeing Hunter again. Luckily my mum hijacked that meeting, but I’m still mad at Owen, I mean what the hell was going through his mind to even believe that it would be okay to bring him into my house?

I got the kids some Christmas presents today, Stef took them home with her, every year the kids presents are always hidden at Stef’s, yet, every year the kids still ransack the place looking for them. I got Tony his chemistry set, it's a really big one, I did my homework on what would be the best thing to buy and that's the one I got. I also got Si his football top, I also got him tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt from his favourite team, it was buy one get one half price.

I open the front door, arms weighed down with food shopping, as soon as I walk in the door I know that Hunters still here, I can smell the muskiness of his aftershave.

“Let me give you a hand.” Hunter says walking out of my kitchen, taking the bags from my hands.

“What are you doing here Hunter?” I follow him into the kitchen, so mad that he’s still here; I’m completely ambushed yet again.

“We really need to talk Jess.” Hearing him talk so normal to me, it's bringing back the memories of all the good times we had together.

“There's nothing to talk about Hunter.” I start putting away the shopping hoping it will help calm me down, I think I’m on the verge of breaking down.

“Jessica please just let me talk?” Hearing him say my name like that, it makes me cry, thinking about how he would only call me Jessica when he had something serious to say.

I don't turn around to face him, I don't want him to see me cry. “Say whatever you think you need to say and then leave.”

“Look Jess, my mum hated the fact that I chose you over anyone she shoved down my throat.” he tells me and I knew his mum hated me, she made me uncomfortable from the get go. “Are you listening to me?”

“Of course I’m listening to you!” the tears won't stop falling in fact they seem to be coming a lot faster.

“I’m trying to tell you something and you’re not saying anything?” he sounds confused, but I don't see why.

I’m listening, but he’s not saying anything of value, “I came to see you once you know. It was four months after we had broken up. I did so well pretending that I was fine, that I was getting over you, but I wasn't, I was so depressed. So I decided the only way to sort myself out was to see you and get closure.
